(From your Parish Priest….)

 
Dear Parishioners, 

Greetings of peace and joy to you, your family and loved ones this Christmas. It was a golden year with many wonderful surprises. This journey the Redemptorists took with you was no walk-in-the-park neither was it through a bed of roses.  However, we gave you our very best and we were blessed to come through this pandemic with unflinching faith together. God will continue to renew us and our beloved country.  God has answered our prayers for a new Government and the light at the end of our tunnel is getting brighter. 

I take this opportunity to thank all of you for your generous support and prayers.  I also wish to thank all ministries for making my tenure a memorable one. The youth movement has been revived, the church was given a much-needed restoration, with a beautiful outdoor stage and many have returned to regular worship and participation. A special thanks to those who have made liturgy and the environment beautiful with your dedication and creativity.  I look back at the past four years and I thank God and Mother Mary for all the blessings we have received. We celebrated one of the best and most creative Novena Devotions on the internet during the pandemic.  We end this year with joyfully hope that the coming year will be better.   

To all our friends, parishioners, and benefactors I wish to thank you for your encouragement and prayerful support. We will have a parish assembly after our Redemptorist Chapter early next year.  Let us pray for each other with greater faith, that with God we can do all things.   

On behalf of my assistant Fr. Lai and the Redemptorist community, I wish you all good health, deeper faith, and joyful hope in the coming year. 

In Him there is plentiful Redemption
